Featured Atrwork from the show
Sperm Whale Hunting Squid in the Abyss
Inspired by the findings of a study on sperm whales in the Gulf of California, the artwork reflects the dramatic decline in sperm whale populations due to the collapse of jumbo squid stocks. Once numbering a "super population" of 354 individuals between 2009 and 2015, sperm whales vanished from the region entirely between 2016 and 2018.
Serenity Below - Watching a Humpback
This artwork pays tribute to Fran, the beloved humpback whale tragically lost to a ship strike in 2022. Fran, born in 2005 and celebrated as California’s most recognized humpback whale with 277 sightings recorded in the Happywhale database, was a frequent visitor to the Monterey Bay Area and a symbol of marine wonder.
